Ewa safi
Ewa Safi is a kosher restaurant in Tel Aviv serving Moroccan cuisine from a building that dates back to the early days of the city. The menu centers on slow-cooked tajine stews, hand-rolled couscous, fresh salads, and pastries like lamb pastille with caramelized pumpkin, all prepared with traditional Moroccan spices.
The building housing this restaurant dates to Tel Aviv's early founding era and preserves the simple architecture of that period. Brothers Miko and Shimon Barak established the restaurant to bring authentic Moroccan flavors to the busy city.
The name Ewa Safi comes from Hebrew meaning "stop, enough" and playfully references the generous portions served here. The restaurant reflects local customs of Neve Tzedek, where people gather to spend time together and share dishes with family and friends.
Located near Neve Tzedek, the restaurant maintains a relaxed pace so guests can enjoy meals at their own speed. Booking ahead is recommended, especially on weekends, as staff are friendly and happy to explain dishes and offer suggestions.
Mama Solika, a key figure in the kitchen, was born and raised in Morocco and brings her heart to every dish she prepares. Her cooking evokes memories of home and family meals for many guests who visit.
